As an athletic little girl, I was very lucky. I grew up with a dad who not only bought me a baseball mitt and played catch with me, but would say things like, "You get that great throwing arm from your grandmother, my mom. You know she played on a women's softball team! She was fantastic!" But not every little girl is encouraged in athletic pursuits, and back when he was young it was even more rare. "Anybody's Game: Kathryn Johnston, the First Girl to Play Little League Baseball" is the true story of a little girl whose family encouraged her even when society didn't. ⚾⚾⚾ Written by Heather Lang, who spent time talking to the real Kathryn Johnston about her experiences, it's a beautiful story of determination and a refusal to give in to naysayers. And Illustrator Cecilia Puglesi's artwork brings the playgrounds to life with colour and movement. A wonderful picture book biography and a great lesson about inclusion. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #bookstagraminthe6ix #anybodysgame #kathrynjohnston #thefirstgirltoplaylittleleaguebaseball #heatherlang #ceciliapuglesi #albertwhitman #littleleague #littleleaguebaseball #littleleaguebaseball⚾️ #girlsplaybaseballtoo #girlsplaybaseball #booksaboutbaseball #picturebookbiography #picturebookbiographies #baseballisforgirls #femaleathlete #femaleathletes #womeninsport #womeninsports #girlsinsports #girlsinsport #inclusion #inclusionmatters #girlscandoanything #girlpower #educationforequality #talkingwithkids #whyweread https://www.instagram.com/p/B3DW8zanBsU/?igshid=oujldrcwey68
